Especial TO the Press
AUGUSTA, Nov. 22.--Hon. S. w. Mat
thews, Labor Commissioner, has just re-
ceived somewhat surprising letter from Mr..
j. (. B. McCready, editor of the st. John
Telegraph. who asks for statistics and in
formation about Maine industries, saying
that commercial union was being discussed
in the st. John Board of Trade, and the
leading opponents to the scheme had held
that there were larger cotton factories, car
works. dry goods houses and printing estab-
lishments in New Brunswick than under any
single management in Maine.
Mr.. Matthews forwarded the Canadian
editor copy of Names last years indus
trial statistics and cited several facts con-
cerning the industries of the State. For in
stance, in the matter of printing, one con-
cern, Mr.. E. c. Aliens, of this city, issues
regular periodicals, the circulation of which
is larger than the aggregate Of all the publ
cations of New Brunswick. His average
monthly circulation for the last nine months
has been $4,000 copies. He operates 16 fast
presses, and annually distributes 100000.
In the cotton industry Maine stands at the
front and far in advance of New Bruins
wick. Maine can show $16,0O0,000 invested
in the cotton manufacturing industry, "a
cotton factories, and 1900 employees. As
learned from Dockham's reports, the con-
Germ in Maine with the largest capital is the
Hill Manufacturing Company, of Lewiston,
with S1,5Oo,0Oo. Yet all the cotton manufac-
tories of New Brunswick are capitalized at
but $500, 900, less than two-thirds of the cap
ital of one mill corporation in Maine. The
largest cotton manufacturing company in
that province is the st. Croix, erected at
Milltown. Its capital is S6s0,oOo; number of
spindles. 10000. The Pepperell mill, of
Biddeford, operates $4,000 spindles, and the
Laconia $4,000. There are six cotton man.
ufacturing corporations in Maine with a cap
ital of from 81, 600. 900 to $1,5OO0Oo.

BRIBINc THE WRONG MAN.
A Story of Railroad Legislation In
New Hampshire.

BOSTON, Nov. 22-The Boston Herald
gives the following account of a recent oc-
currence at Concord: "During the recent
session of the New Hampshire legislature
there was one case of bribery that was either
overlooked by the committee which investi-
gated the subject or was regarded as not
germane to the subject under consideration.
1t seems that one of the Representatives
from the northern section of the State, who
had come to Concord with a political in
tegrity as fresh as the pure air of his native
hills, was seen under the escort of friend
of the Hazen bill, one of his constituents,
who had had legislative experience. The
advocates of the Athert0n measure had
marked the representative as man to be
secured While seated near window in the
Phoenix, the headquarters Of the HaZen
forces, in company with his fellow tOwnsman,
one of the retainers ON the Atherton side
pointed him out to a subordinate worker as
a subject for persuasive eloquence. The
worker was eager to undertake the job, but
he mistook the man and went for the lobby
list of the Hazen crowd, thinking he was the
representative Warily approaching the
soldier of the enemy, who never disclosed
his identity, the Atherton advocate inquired
how he stood on the railroad question. The
result was, the Atherton lobbyist paid the
Hazen lobbyist 800, supposinglthat he was
working" the right man. The recipient of
the money then concluded that his oecupa-
tion for the balance of the session was gone,
and at once repaired to the fastness of his
native heath.

INCREASED ACCOMMODATIONS.
What Has Been Done at the Insane
Asylum this Year.

AUGUSTA, Nov. 22.-The rapid increase of
the insane in this State has occasioned con-
slant enlargement of the States asylum in
this city. The most important change this
wear is the enlargement of the building de-
voted to the hall and kitchen, which stands
between the pavilions. The capacity of this
has been more than doubled by the addition
of 45 feet on the west end and % on the east,
making the present building three stories in
hight $50 feet in length and 40 in width.
The basement is more than the ordinary
hight being nine feet from ceiling to floor,
A tramway runs the entire length, with coal
and commodious storerooms at the sides.
The first floor is devoted to the kitchen and
cooking department. The second story con-
tains chiefly the sleeping rooms for the EN-
ployes who do not have the care of the. pa
tients. These apartments are 10 by 20 feet,
with high ceilings and plenty of windows.
Besides these are Storer0oms, work room
and two reception rooms. winding stair
way leads up from the first floor. This stair
way continues to the hall above and will
serve as an escape in case of a fire. The
third story is devoted mainly to the chapel
and amusement hall. This has been enlarged
"a by 40 feet to obtain additional
stage room and gallery. The size OF
the nall will now be 40 by 104 feet,
with four ante-rooms Attractive decorations
and stage scenery are to be added At the
west of the hall and in the attic more space
has been utilized for sleeping rooms 1Or en-
ployes. Improvements have also been made
on the laundry and engine buildings.
Changes. also, have been made In other
buildings. In the second and third "female"
wings, embracing six wards, cosy and at
tractive parlJrs have been added, the space
formerly devoted to dining rooms being
used.
The total cost of the building operations
and improvements this season will reach
about 100000. Thirty-eight new rooms are
secured for employees, giving just so, much
additional capacity for patients, as hereto
fore the help has necessarily had quarters in
the other buildings. Next year the new
building is to be erected, plans for which
have already been designed by Architect
Coombs of Lewiston. Other improvements
will be made. The garden and the farm have
been very successful this season. The one is
under the supervision of Mr.. W.. b. Allen
and the other of Horace Covey. The officials
of the institution are now preparing their
annual reports, and Mr.. M. S. Campbell, the
hard working bookkeeper, is closing up his

The Commission In the Senate.
Perhaps the most acrimonious OF several
important controversies to be fought out In
abe Senate this winter will, according to the
information obtained in conversation with
Senators, be caused by the appointment Of
commissioners, on behalf Of this govern
ment. to negotiate for the settlement OF the
fisheries disputes between the United States
and the British Colony to the north of us.
Senators Of both parties are preparing for
the contest, the calculation being that 1t will
be one of the most interesting that has 0c-
Cured in the Senate during many years. The
matter has already drawn forth expressions
of opinion from Senators, ana, aitnougn
himself to positive prediction as to the re-
suit of the discussion, several Republican
members have said emphatically that unless
mere partisanship shall intervene and con-
troll the judgment OF Senators, very severe
rebuke will be given to the administration,
not only for having resorted to the commits
sion method Of negotiating the settlement
Of the fisheries troubles in alleged defiance OIL
the will of Congress as expressed last WIN
ter, but also on account Of the manner OF ap-
pointing the commissioners.

Chamberlain, are accompanied to this city
by squad of Pinkerton detectives, four in

does not fear any violence. Nevertheless,
the British minister has employed Pinker-
toms men to guard him, sleeping and waking
while In the United States. At night one Of
the detectives guards his sleeping apart
ments when he goes to his meals, which he
invariably insists shall be served in the
public dining room, the Pinkerton agents oc-

he goes out for walk or drive they are al
